Animal Collective

"For Reverend Green" by Animal Collective from Strawberry Jam (2007)

An aggressive, yet sweet, chide of current Western culture. Though touching on eating disorders and mental illness, there is an inherent optimism felt in this track: "Now I think it's all right to feel inhuman / Now I think that's a riot / Now I think it's all right, we'll sing together." It is so apparent how terrible things have become for everybody that we will band together in a revolutionary fashion to fight for the greater good, with a much higher concentration and appreciation for the day-to-day niceties in our lives.

OR, it's a combination of vocals and instrumentals that simply sound good to the ear. Either way, shallow or deep, it's a great listen.
